Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I can't think of any better way to qualify an absolute best movie. The idea of their being a best movie is probably just fundamentally broken otherwise. If one were to get into any attempt at academic objectivity though, the only way Casablanca is getting on the list is historical relevance. The movie is entertaining, but it's otherwise pulpy and simplistic. It's a couple of missed coin flips away from being To Have and Have Not.

There is no good way of qualifying what the best movie is, but that should be a reason to avoid the term rather than use it incorrectly. Just like I get annoyed by people saying that a song is terrible when what they mean is that they don't like it.

Quite difficult to ascertain the quality of a song other that whether you like it or not, though.

I'm quite happy to say that there is no objective measure for any entertainment.

Man, I remember I watched Big Lebowski when it was first released in theaters and I just didn't find it that funny. Then about 15 years later I watched it again and it dawned on me that I was a stupid fuck the first time I watched it and it's a brilliant comedy.

I think "this movie is the best" and "this song is terrible" are both easily understood in casual conversation. Replying to either by attempting to define accomplishment by way of technical merit is probably the greater misstep.

I'm wondering if it's the same way with some other stuff I watched, mostly Burn After Reading.

The problem is that to test that hypothesis, I would have to watch Burn After Reading again, and I remember that movie sucking ass.
